It has been on the market for just two and a half years and is still available for a little more than 300 euros: That Mate 10 Pro from Huawei, It was one of the first Chinese flagship smartphones to offer both a low price and very good performance. To date, it is a smartphone that is actually sufficient even for more demanding users. But now you may have to find another smartphone soon. Because use seems to be a security risk.
A list released by the RPRNA website reveals: security updates are available for the Huawei Mate 10 Pro no longer. Neither monthly nor quarterly. This is all the more surprising that the cell phone’s little brother, the Mate 10 Lite, is still on the list and should be updated every three months. However, Huawei replied to numerous user requests on Twitter that Android 10 including security patch is also intended for the Mate 10 Pro. According to the manufacturer, it should be around March. Whether after Update to Android 10 Huawei will not reveal further bug fixes and security updates. The company only replies to a specific Twitter question: “I would ask you to continue to follow our official channels. So you will always be kept up to date in this regard. ”The statement suggests that the Mate 10 Pro may not receive any further updates after the update to Android 10.
